About the Center

Assessment and analysis are vital to establishing an equitable, efficient and affordable
health care system. At Saint Louis University's Center for Health Outcomes Research
(SLUCOR), we conduct — and translate — research into practices that improve health
outcomes across patient populations.

We also produce future leaders in research, education and policy.

SLUCOR doctoral students lead research in a diverse set of areas, including the effectiveness
of pharmacotherapies for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the development of new
algorithms for analysis of national registries, and the impact of current organ allocation
policies on transplant outcomes.

Data-Driven Decisions

SLUCOR offers courses in outcomes research, epidemiology and clinical medicine to
students in their senior year and 20 graduate-level classes. We also offer student
mentorship and training programs for SLU's School of Medicine residents and fellows.
